Social Analyzer - API, CLI & Web App for analyzing & finding a person's profile across +900 social media \ websites. It includes different string analysis and detection modules, you can choose which combination of modules to use during the investigation process.

The detection modules utilize a rating mechanism based on different detection techniques, which produces a rate value that starts from 0 to 100 (No-Maybe-Yes). This module intended to have less false positive, and it's documented in this Wiki link.

The analysis and public extracted information from this OSINT tool could help in investigating profiles related to suspicious or malicious activities such as cyberbullying, cybergrooming, cyberstalking, and spreading misinformation.

This project is "currently used by some law enforcement agencies in countries where resources are limited".

Social Analyzer is in a league of its own and is a very impressive tool that I thoroughly recommend for Digital Investigators and OSINT practitioners - by Joseph Jones, Founder of Strategy Nord, Unita Insight and OS2INT

Updates

• �� Possible profile\person age option
• �� Multi-profile stats and metadata tables
• �� Multi-profile search is finally here (GUI version)! And, most of the public & private modules are compatible with this new search option - E.g. johndoe,janedoe <- any group of usernames separated by commas with no spaces

Open Shell

Running Issues

• Remember that existing profiles show status:good or rate:%100
• Some websites return blocked or invalid <- this is the intended behavior
• Use Proxy, VPN, TOR or anything similar for periodic suspicious-profiles checking
• Do not mix FindUserProfilesFast, with FindUserProfilesSlow and ShowUserProfilesSlow
• Change the user-agent to most updated one or increase the random time between requests
• Use the slow mode (Not available in the CLIs) to avoid running into blocking\results issue

Goals

• Adding the generic websites detections (These need some reviewing, but I will try to add them in 2021)

Resources

• DuckDuckGo API, Google API, NodeJS, bootstrap, selectize, jQuery, Wikipedia, font-awesome, selenium-webdriver & tesseract.js
• Let me know if I missed a reference or resource!

Interviews

• Console 37
